One Coventry woman's number came up when she hit the jackpot winning thousands of pounds at her local bingo hall.

The 61-year-old woman scooped more than £102,000 at the Gala Club, opposite Pool Meadow Bus Station, last Friday with a full house in 39 numbers.

She won the national prize of £100,000 plus the regional prize of £2,032 and the club prize of £23. The win is the biggest since the club opened.

The woman, who does not wish to be named, lives near the club in Fairfax Street and has been playing there with her husband once a week for just over a year.

She said: "I thought I might have a chance with the regional prize but I didn't think I would get the whole lot.

"It never entered my head during the 20-minute wait for the results to come through."

She carried on playing in the meantime and bagged another £100 with a full house.

She added: "When they announced I had won the national, I couldn't believe it. I didn't get much sleep over the weekend and it still hasn't sunk in. I can't plan to spend it till I see the cheque in my hand."

Gala manager Gary Colledge said it was the biggest win for the club since it opened in February last year replacing the former Hippodrome Club.
